Use a pre-defined buffer profile
FTOS provides two pre-defined buffer profiles, one for single queue (i.e non-QoS) applications, and one
for four queue (i.e QoS) applications.
Task
Apply one of two pre-defined buffer profiles for all
port-pipes in the system.
You must reload the system for the global buffer-profile to take effect
Message 12 Reload After Applying Global Buffer Profile
% Info: For the global pre-defined buffer profile to take effect, please save the config and reload the
system.
FTOS Behavior: After you configure
bootup. Only one reboot is required for the configuration to take effect; afterwards this bootup
message may be ignored.
FTOS Behavior: The buffer profile does not returned to the default,
running-config to the startup-config, and then delete the startup-config and reload the chassis. The
only way to return to the default buffer profile is to explicitly configure
buffer-profile global
